Greentree Technology Opens Overland Park Headquarters

Overland Park, KS, August 1, 2009 – GreenTree Technology Partners, a leader in green IT security, today announced that it has opened its headquarters in Overland Park, KS, making GreenTree the first IT security company in the United States wholly dedicated to promoting “green” solutions.

“Security budgets are tight right now, so enabling companies to realize savings while meeting their security needs is important,” said Jeff Blackwood, President of GreenTree. “We are committed to helping our customers in the Midwest increase the security of their networks while reducing their energy consumption.”

By choosing “green” security solutions, GreenTree hopes that customers can improve their security budgets by showing specific, tangible savings in energy consumption and secondary savings in HVAC costs.

In a typical office environment, desktop and laptop PCs are left on 24 hours per day, using power while no one is using the PC. By implementing power saving solutions such as GreenTree’s Power and Policy Management, companies gain the tools they need to control power settings on their PCs from a central console. This results in average savings of $25-$75 per year for each PC in an organization, according to Energy Star.

In addition, GreenTree will help their customers realize savings through virtualization, storage reduction and e-waste recycling.

“By driving awareness of energy-efficient technologies among customers,” said Blackwood, “GreenTree hopes this multi-tiered approach to value will allow security and IT professionals to gain access to valuable tools while contributing to their company’s bottom line.”
